Description

Cage for catching pigeons.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a cage that It has been specially designed for catching pigeons, there where they have become a problem due to their high density of population.

The invention is of special application in cities and towns where pigeons are a problem to cause of its harmful incidence on architectural monuments and of another type, although obviously said cage can be used in any practical case in which a capture is required massive pigeons.

Background of the invention

It is well known in problem the large proliferation of pigeons in cities, which damage with its droppings the stone of historical buildings, causing a significant deterioration thereof, and regardless of other complementary problems generated by this excessive population of pigeons

This has led municipalities to the decision to change them habitat, capturing them in the areas of the cities they normally inhabit.

For the capture of the pigeons are used in the news "cannons" capable of launching a network on a group more or less numerous of pigeons, causing the massive capture of the same when they are on the ground.

However the effectiveness of these devices It is determined by the concentration of pigeons on areas reduced from the ground, a circumstance that in many cases is not da, since there is a high population of pigeons that concentrate on roofs and the like and that are practically impossible of capturing with a network.

Description of the invention

The cage that the invention proposes has been conceived and structured in order to solve the problem previously exposed, allowing the capture of pigeons with independence of the area they usually use as an innkeeper and so that these pigeons can be captured on decks, terraces or in any area outside the ground, although it could also be used at this level and replacing the classics and cited cannons.

To do this and more specifically said cage it consists of a cage proper, based on a trellis with dimensionally suitable reticles to prevent the passage to its through the pigeons, counting said cage with a wide window on one of its side walls and at the lower level, cage that remains framed by two trays, one inside and one outside, this last usable as an innkeeper and both as a supply area for I think for pigeons.

Between both trays and in correspondence with the general plan of said cage wall, a plurality of tilting rods, mounted with the possibility of rotation on an upper transverse axis, spaced apart from each other in a magnitude that does not allow the passage of pigeons between them, and assisted by a lower stop that only allows the tilting of said rods inwards, preventing the tilting in the opposite direction, which is equivalent to the pigeons they can access the inside of the cage by swinging with their own body said rods, but they are unable to Exit later.

In order to give the cage due autonomy, inside it, specifically above the tray inside, a materialized feed supplier is established in a hopper topped off in a spindle driven by a electric motor, which with the collaboration of a Timer / doser supplies the appropriate doses with a time distancing also adequate, fundamentally to the  inner tray, although part of the feed also falls on the outer tray, so that the shortage of feed in the tray outside and abundance inside makes pigeons they tend to enter the cage where they are retained.

A complementary drinker, of any kind conventional, allows pigeons captured in the cage to stay within it, with food and water, time necessary so that the collection of the same can be done with the appropriate periodicity for the capture system to result profitable.

The aforementioned feeder drive motor of feed works at low voltage, specifically at 12 volts in direct current, for which purpose the cage has a box electric, preferably polyester, properly fixed to the same, where in addition to the timer clock mentioned above for the dosage of the feed, a transformer is housed that convert the mains voltage into alternating voltage of 11.5 volts, transformer assisted by a rectifier with which the  Continuous voltage provided for motor supply.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view front of a cage for catching pigeons made according for the purpose of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a view Lateral-posterior of the same cage.

Figure 3.- Shows a detail of the box electric in opening position.

Figure 4.- Shows, finally, a scheme corresponding to the electrical circuit of the cage.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can observe how the cage that is recommended is constituted from of a preferably prismatic-rectangular body (1), materialized in a metal grid that configures the cage proper, based on orthogonally crossed rods defining reticles of adequate size to prevent the passage of pigeons through it, although this grid may be assisted by a chicken coop or similar, which reduces the size of passage through Of the same.

In the front wall of the body or cage itself a large rectangular window (2) is established, horizontally elongated, normally closed by a plurality of vertical rods (3), spaced apart by a magnitude in turn suitable so that the pigeons cannot pass between them, rods that are topped by its upper extremity in brackets (4) of "T" configuration, whose transverse branch is tubular and is crossed by a common and fixed axis, which allows the rocking of said rods (3) towards the inside of the cage, since its tilting towards the outside is prevented by a lower stop (6) on which they normally support by simple grave-
dad

In correspondence with the lower edge of said window (2) two trays are established, one inside (7) and one outside (8), so that the latter acts as an innkeeper for the pigeons, while the interior (7) acts as a bait, receiving feed from a feeder (9), hung by hooks (10) of the reticular structure itself that configures the front wall (1) of the cage, feed supply device that is superimposed on the inner tray (7), as seen perfectly in the figure
(one).

This dispenser (9) has a zone transparent (11), vertically elongated, which allows control visually and directly the amount of feed in your hopper inside, hopper that unloads on the inner tray (7), and slightly also on the outside, with the collaboration of a auger mounted on a shaft (12) driven by an electric motor (13) located on the rear wall of the feeder (9) and assisted  by a roof (14) for protection against the effects of outdoor.

So the feeder-doser (9) supplies feed to the tray (7) both to attract the pigeons that are in the outside of the cage, as if to feed those found retained inside, also counting the cage with a trough, not represented in the drawings, which allows to keep the pigeons alive and in perfect condition, inside the cage, for a period of time long enough for the collection maneuvers can turn away considerably over time.

The drive motor (13) of the feeder-doser (9) is a low motor DC voltage, which works specifically at 12 volts, for which the cage, which is powered by voltage of network (15), that is to say with the classic 220 volts in alternating, is fed through a timer (16) housed inside of an electrical box or cabinet (17), with its corresponding control knobs (18), protected by a tight cover (19), also housing this electrical cabinet (17), consisting of a polyester box, a transformer (19) that converts the current network at a voltage of 11.5 volts in alternating, which with the collaboration of a rectifier bridge (20) goes current continuous, the one planned for the motor supply (13).

According to the structuring described the accumulation of pigeons that will normally exist within the proper cage (1) and the presence of feed in the trays (7) and (8), will attract pigeons, which when trying to access to the existing feed in the inner tray (7) they swing the rods (3), which thus allow its entry, but not its subsequent exit, since they are unable to swing in the direction opposite by the bottom stop (6). Depending on the forecasts of capture and time intervals between collection and collection of the pigeons, through the programmer or timer (16), and more specifically through its controls (18), the feed dose that must be supplied to the tray (7), and its distancing over time, bringing the pigeons captured can be kept for a long time inside the cage, in perfect food conditions, allowing distance also considerably collected in time the collected or emptied of the cage, so that these collection maneuvers are the most Profitable possible.
